I don’t know how many of you are familiar with The Red Green Show, a Canadian comedy that ran for fifteen years and spoofed handyman/outdoors shows, but it has a reputation for having some of the most hilarious sketches I have ever seen. Case in point is this clip from The Red Green Show‘s very first Christmas special; the clip focuses on Red Green arguing for Santa Claus’s reality…in the most unexpected way imaginable.

There’s another good clip from the show wherein Red’s friend Dalton raves about the “pagan origins of Christmas” and how he won’t let his family celebrate anymore because of that, but, alas, I can’t find it on YouTube, so Red’s discourse on Santa will have to suffice.

Pity, though, because there’s a great line in there: “You know, I’m not a psychiatrist, Dalton, but I think you finally have all four wheels off the road.”
